Read a very disturbing review on Amazon about 922 posted May 2010, Wondering if you got it and what your experience has been?

@Sherlmitz I have not gotten it yet. I'm still very interested in the Sling tech, especially not that I have a Droid that could stream it. But I have been put off by so many reports of buggy software on the 922.

dishnetwork has the worst customer service and they raise your rate after they get you in a contract.

[pastordice]

That has not been my experience. In fact, Dish has treated me very well, even grandfathering me into deals longer than they would have to. And they have always been willing to work with me when I talk to customer service. Just my experience.

VIP 922 not available until June 2009 according to Dish Network customer service.

[pastordice]

June would be great! I was thinking more like Fall.

ANY television company raises their rates after your promotion is up. But Dish does give you a lower rate than DirecTV or Comcast. BTW I'm a Dish Technician, and I have had the pleasure of messing around with a 922s. I have pics of the new remote for the 922s but I don't wanna lose my job over showing you guys :P. Lemme just say its gonna blow your mind!!!

all companies have the right to raise prices its written in the contract.not just dish network, its called inflation.if you dont want to be on a contract then pay month to month dont go crying like a little bitch about how they raised your prices you probably dont pay attention to anything you signed or anything they tell you over the phone right.only when its more convenient to you jackass.good day to you

This technology seems very cool. And as far as I have seen, there isn't any need for the hate against Dish Network. The customer service has been good whenever I used it.

Important: the Dish 922 SlingLoaded DVR has the worst DVR menus imaginable. Press the DVR remote button and you get an array of folder icons by Title or Theme; select the correct icon and you get another array with icons for each recorded program, with only title (ex: College Football) and date of the recording; hover over the icon and you get a full title (ex: Big 12 Championship: Nebraska vs. Oklahoma) and description. An EXTREMELY TEDIOUS search. Probably designed by liberal arts major.

I've had the 922 since September and it is freaking awesome. I can use my laptop to view my TV or DVR recorded shows whenever I travel, for work or pleasure. In addition, my Droid X works great through the Dish Remote Access (Sling); no 3rd party apps required.
